Microwave cooking guidelines o If you are heating liquid in the microwave, then you must also place a teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave cavity. o This phenomenon is called “delayed boiling”, this means that a liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam coming off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid container is even gently shaken, then the liquid can without warning boil over or even spurt. This could scald the end user. o If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages, tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin or peel with a fork. This will ensure that if steam is created during the heating process, it can escape and the food will not burst. o When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that the food has been heated uniformly, you should stir or shake the food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the food before feeding it to a child. o When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the heat to the container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing items from the microwave. o You should make sure that you do not cook food for too long or at too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the food to dry out or even ignite. 26 o You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could absorb moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could cause pressure to build up and shatter the dish. o If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the ambient temperature of the room is high. o IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave. o After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food stand for a few minutes. This is called “standing time” and will allow the heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly throughout the food. Materials you can use for microwave cooking Material Aluminium foil Browning dish Dinnerware Glass jars Glassware Oven cooking bags Paper plates and cups Paper towels Parchment paper Remarks To be used for shielding only.
